The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $123.0 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $122.7 million, or $0.79 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Revenues for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013 were $616.2 million, compared to $530.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012. The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013 were $30.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $21.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 include one-time tax benefits primarily related to the release of deferred tax valuation allowances in various jurisdictions.

Commenting on the results for the fourth quarter 2013, Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Revenues excluding the effect of a stronger Euro came in at the very high end of guidance. Distributors seem to be confident for the future while the inventory turns of our components at distributors remain acceptable. The ending backlog of $611 million, 20% higher compared to last year, indicates a good start into 2014."
Commenting on the results for the year 2013, Dr. Gerald Paul, stated, "For manufacturers of electronic components, the year 2013 overall has not been bad but developments in relevant market segments were very different. Confidence has grown across the board in the last quarter. In case of a real upturn, Vishay is very well positioned benefitting from increased capacities in strategic product lines; from having improved market access in the industrial segment in Asia, specifically in China; from increased technical resources; from our broad and innovative product portfolio and from our strong position in distribution worldwide."
Commenting on the outlook for the first quarter 2014 Dr. Paul stated, "Based on our backlog and on current order trends, we expect revenues between $580 million and $620 million at similar gross margins, significantly over our revenues in Q1 of prior year."

This press release includes certain financial measures which are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share, which are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These non-GAAP measures supplement our GAAP measures of performance and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share do not have uniform definitions. These measures, as calculated by Vishay, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management believes that adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share are meaningful to investors because they provide insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company. Reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net earnings represent significant charges or credits that are important to understanding the Company's intrinsic operations. These reconciling items are indicated on the accompanying reconciliation schedule and are more fully described in the Company's financial statements presented in its annual report on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports presented on Forms 10-Q.
Statements contained herein that relate to the Company's future performance, including statements with respect to forecasted revenues, margins, cash generation, internal growth, and the general state of the Company, are forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believe," "estimate," "will be," "will," "would," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "project," "intend," "could," "should," or other similar words or expressions often identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations only, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include: general business and economic conditions; difficulties in implementing our cost reduction and restructuring strategies; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; competition and technological changes in our industries; difficulties in new product development; difficulties in identifying suitable acquisition candidates, consummating a transaction on terms which we consider acceptable, and integration and performance of acquired businesses; uncertainty related to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and other factors affecting our operations that are set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual reports on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
